Term 3 Reflections

In term 3, we spent half a term learning physics and the rest of the term learning biology. Term 3, compared with term 2, was quite simple. We continued to study lenses and colours of light. Lenses was just a revision on refraction, as convex lenses converges light through refraction. Lenses was not very hard to me as I had already knew refraction well. I just had to memorize at which position of the object to the lens would cause the image to be produced at which position. It wasn't very hard but it took some time to memorise everything.

Next, we learned on colours of light. Just like lenses, we just had to memorise what colours would be produced when two colours are mixed together. For example, red and blue makes magenta while red and green makes yellow.

Following that, we moved onto biology. We learned ecology followed by sexual reproduction. Ecology was not really very difficult as it was just food chains and food webs. These diagrams are straight-forward and does not really involve much thinking. However, we need to understand why the food chain is a delicate balance and that the absence or addition of another animal might destroy the food chain. We also must know what abiotic and biotic factors mean. These are the 3 topics tested for the term 3 test.

After the test, we continued with biology and studied on sexual reproductions. It is a new topic to me and I think it involves a lot of memorising too, such as all the body parts and their uses. I have not really studied sexual reproductions yet, thus I an not really familiar with it. I often have to check the notes before I can do the worksheets.

In conclusion, term 3 was much easier than term 2 and I still scored a A1 for my test. :) However, I cannot feel too contented and I must always work hard to keep my good grades.
